Survey on Ethereum phishing detection technology by Zhao CAI, Tao JING, Shuang REN

“…With the widespread application of blockchain technology, phishing scams have become a major threat to blockchain platforms.Due to the irreversibility, anonymity, and tamper-proof nature of blockchain transactions, phishing attacks often have a high degree of deception and concealment, causing significant losses to both users and businesses.Ethereum platform, with its smart contract functionality, has attracted many crypto currency investors.However, this widespread popularity has also attracted an influx of criminals, leading to the rise of cybercrime activities.Among them, phishing scams are one of the main forms of fraud on the Ethereum platform.To tackle this issue, researchers have developed Ethereum network phishing identification technology, achieving significant progress in this field.However, there has been relatively little systematic analysis and summary of these research results.The current state of phishing fraud on the Ethereum network was analyzed.Moreover, a comprehensive summary of existing phishing detection datasets and evaluation metrics were provided.On this basis, methods for detecting phishing on Ethereum were reviewed, including those based on transaction information, graph embedding and graph neural networks.Transaction information-based methods are the most common, analyzing information such as input and output addresses and amounts in transaction data to determine whether a transaction is abnormal.Methods based on graph embedding and graph neural networks place more emphasis on analyzing the entire transaction network, constructing a graph structure to analyze the relationships between nodes, and more accurately identifying phishing attacks.In addition, a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various methods was conducted, explaining the applicability and limitations of each method.Finally, the challenges facing Ethereum phishing detection were pointed out, and the future research trends for Ethereum phishing detection were predicted.…”

Improving ICP-Based Scanning Sonar Image Matching Performance Through Height Estimation of Feature Point Using Shaded Area by Gwonsoo Lee, Sukmin Yoon, Yeongjun Lee, Jihong Lee

“…Unlike other sensors, such as forward looking sonar (FLS) or BlueView, scanning sonar has an extended data acquisition period, complicating data collection while in motion. Additionally, existing ICP-based matching algorithms that rely on two-dimensional scanning sonar data suffer from matching errors due to ambiguities in the nearest-point matching process, typically arising when the feature points demonstrate similarities in size and spatial arrangement, leading to numerous potential connections between them. …”

Cleaner Production Quality Regulation Strategy of Pharmaceutical with Collusive Behavior and Patient Feedback by Junmei Rong, Lilong Zhu

“…The results of the research show that, first, improvement of patient complaint rates can effectively curb collusive behavior and promote the stable improvement of cleaner production drug quality; second, the governments must impose sufficient fines on pharmaceutical companies to avoid a stable strategic combination of collusion; third, enhancing patient feedback can speed up the evolution of the stable choice of legitimate strategies by pharmaceutical companies and the medical service agencies; finally, the government reducing the strict regulation costs can increase the strict regulation rate employed in the evolution process and slow down the pace of evolution to loose regulation. In addition, the simulation analysis was carried out using Matlab 2017b, which verified the validity of the model and proved the practical meaning of countermeasures and suggestions for improving government quality regulation.…”

Taiwan Passengers’ Willingness to Pay for Air Sleeper Seats by Chung-Wei Kuo

“…According to the results, when considering multiple variables, people were willing to increase the price paid to use parent-child cabins by NTD 11,194, which was about 75% of the original price but lower than the preferential price offered by the airlines, indicating a gap between the amount people were willing to pay and the airlines’ pricing. In addition, if passengers were traveling with children or if the passengers had higher flight frequencies and personal incomes, they were willing to purchase the sleeper seat service. …”
